4 eggs at room temp separated
2tsp of grated lemon rind
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 cup plain yoghurt
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
for the glaze
1 cup confectioners sugar
2tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp yoghurt
method:
1 preheat oven to 350, grease and flour a 12 cup bunt cake pan
2 cream butter and sugar till light and fluffy add egg yolks one at a time beating after each addition.
3 add lemon rind/juice and yoghurt and stir to blend
4 mix together all other dry ingredients I.E the flour, salt, baking, soda, and powder.
5 mix in dry ingredients on low speed.
(at this point mot cake recipes would call it quits but not this one)

7carefully fold egg whites into batter
8 pour batter into pan and bake for approximately 50 minutes
(or until a cake tester comes out clean)

10 to make the glaze sift confectioner's sugar into a bowl and add enough yoghurt and lemon juice to make a smooth glaze let cool completely before glazing
enjoy ladies and germs

yeah i used about 5 lemons for the juice and i zested one for the rind. This is nowhere near as hard as it looks hardest part is separating the eggs without getting yolk in the egg whites, making sure you don't OD mixing the egg whites or beat the heck out of it when you are folding them in...beyond that this isn't much harder then making a pound cake. Best of luck to you if you do try this
you can also use artificial lemon juice...and dried lemon rind (check the spice aisle) although it will probably impact the flavor...i am not sure this is the first time i have used this recipe
once again good luck
